"Run Mustang Run" lyrics

Ernie was an old Mustanger, forty years ago or so
He used to round 'em up and sell 'em by the pound
When they were broken, lame and old
Ernie and his wild horse wrangle friends
They lived an old-time cowboy code
The built the wild herds up with purebred studs
And let the young ones go

Singing, run Mustang run
Hold your proud heads high
Burn across the desert like a wildfire
Let your spirits fly
Wild ones, let your spirits fly

Mary taught school in the city
I heard she really saw it all
Her heart was breaking down in the Ghetto
When she heard the Comstock call
So, Mary and her husband Eddie
Moved to Gold Hill from L.A.
They have coffee on the deck every morning now
While they let the Mustangs play

They sing, run Mustang run
Hold your proud heads high
Burn across the desert like a wildfire
Let your spirits fly
Wild ones, let your spirits fly

Now Mary and Eddie and Ernie
Come from different worlds, it's true
But we all want to keep these ponies free
This High Country's filling up with roads and smoking cars
We need to learn to live our lives and let the wild things be

Singing, run Mustang run
Hold your proud heads high
Burn across the desert like a wildfire
Let your spirits fly
Wild ones, let your spirits fly
Run Mustang run (Run Mustang run)
Hold your proud heads high
Burn across the desert like a wildfire
Let your spirits fly
Wild ones, let your spirits fly
